Review of Formation Flying and Constellation Missions Using Nanosatellites
SMALL satellites are enablingmultisatellite missions that were not otherwise possible because of their small size and modular nature [1].Multiple small satellites can be flown instead of amuch bigger and costlier conventional satellite for distributed sensing applications such as atmospheric sampling, distributed antennas [2], and synthetic apertures [3,4]. Missions with multiple small satellit...
متن کاملA Distributed Flight Software Design for Satellite Formation Flying Control
Several NASA and DoD missions are envisioned that will utilize distributed, autonomous clusters of spacecraft. The Air Force Research Laboratory initiated the TechSat 21 mission to demonstrate the key enabling technologies of formation flying and distributed radar. Princeton Satellite Systems developed the Formation Flying Module (FFM) for TechSat 21 to provide autonomous reconfiguration, forma...
متن کاملResults of Prisma / Ffiord Extended Mission and Applicability to Future Formation Flying and Active Debris Removal Missions
Several experiments have been performed by CNES during the extended PRISMA mission which started in August 2011. A first session in October 2011 addressed two objectives: (1) demonstrate angles-only navigation to rendezvous with a non cooperative object, (2) exercise transitions between RF based and vision based control during final formation acquisition. A complementary experiment in September...
متن کاملSimulation Platform for Relative Navigation Using GPS Carrier Phase Measurements for Satellite Formation Flying Missions
The use of Global Positioning System (GPS) technology for satellite formation flying missions has received more attention recently. The Carrier Phase Differential Global Positioning System (CDGPS) technique is generally employed to obtain relative position of a high accuracy. To validate the formation flying CDGPS algorithm, a simulation platform is necessary to simulate the GPS signals receive...
